Joining Marsh this month is Christopher Doyle, director of the International Healing Foundation - a group which controversially aims to offer their help to people 'suffering' from unwanted same-sex attraction.

Kevin Friery's insight:

A skeptical conversation: Conversion therapy..... in an interview with Marsh

"Talking therapies have "little impact" on the symptoms of people with schizophrenia, a study suggests." In fact, the only 'taking therapy' they studied was CBT, which is at one extreme end of a range of talking therapies. It annoys me when people present CBT as 'the' talking therapy - it simply is not.

"Last week I broke the news that a psychotherapist who had sexually abused his patient had been allowed to re-register with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. Yesterday that the UKCP issued a statement"

Kevin Friery's insight:

I have posted about this case before - here is a follow-up blog from one of the original sources of the story.

"The Department for Work and Pensions said treatment would not be mandatory in the pilot scheme but that remained an "idea" for the future." Mandatory counselling and/or psychotherapy. Unethical, impossible and I hope no therapist would touch it with a bargepole.

The legacy of Sigmund Freud - the founder of psychoanalysis is well known. But perhaps less known is the impact his daughter Anna had, and continues to have, on child psychoanalysis.

Kevin Friery's insight:

By the time of her death in 1982, Anna Freud's work had revolutionised how we treat children in many walks of life, such as in hospital - with longer visiting hours when children are having treatment - and in the judicial system, where screens and video cameras are used when children have to give evidence.

In addition to comfort levels, many mental-health providers are not trained in addressing issues particular to the LGBT community—they may not even know to ask a patient about his or her sexuality or gender expression.
